包括马绍尔群岛人在内的太平洋岛民面临着更高的肥胖率和与肥胖有关的慢性病。针对生命最初1000天的饮食模式的早期干预对于促进适当的营养和生长至关重要。马绍尔母亲和照顾者是喂养做法的重要决策者，这可能影响马绍尔儿童的肥胖率。然而，人们对马绍尔家庭从出生到12个月的饮食模式和做法知之甚少。利用基于社区的资产和太平洋岛民文化价值观/习俗的文化适应方法已证明在减少肥胖方面有效，但尚未为儿童开发。本文介绍了一项研究的协议，以适应文化为中心的育儿干预在阿肯色州的马绍尔母亲。这将是第一次在美国进行文化适应和实施以马绍尔妇女为中心的育儿方式的研究。这项研究将是重要的第一步，以评估在马绍尔社区减少儿童肥胖症的简化父母干预的可行性和可接受性。
Pacific Islanders, including the Marshallese, face higher rates of obesity and obesity-related chronic conditions. Early-life interventions targeting eating patterns during the first 1000 days of life are essential to promote proper nutrition and growth. Marshallese mothers and caregivers are important decision-makers for feeding practices that could affect childhood obesity rates in Marshallese children. However, little is known about dietary patterns and practices of Marshallese families from birth to 12 months. Culturally-adapted approaches using community-based assets and Pacific Islander cultural values/practices have demonstrated effectiveness in reducing obesity but have not been developed for children. This article describes the protocol for a study to culturally adapt the Centering Parenting intervention for Marshallese mothers in Arkansas. This will be the first study to culturally adapt and implement Centering Parenting with Marshallese women in the United States. This study will be an important first step to assess the feasibility and acceptability of an abbreviated parenting intervention to reduce childhood obesity in Marshallese communities.
